Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

Hi all.

Using Umbraco 7.15.3

It will simply not letting me change a members password from a controller. The code execution without any exceptions, but no changes are made.

I have tried this

// In Surface controller
var member = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetById(1117);
var changingPasswordModel = new Umbraco.Web.Models.ChangingPasswordModel()
{
    OldPassword = null,
    NewPassword = "1234"
};
Members.ChangePassword(member.Username, changingPasswordModel, "UmbracoMembershipProvider");

// Web.Config
<add name = "UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" useLegacyEncoding="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="true" />

And this

// In Surface controller
var member = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetById(1117);
var changingPasswordModel = new Umbraco.Web.Models.ChangingPasswordModel()
{
    OldPassword = null,
    NewPassword = "1234"
};
Members.ChangePassword(member.Username, changingPasswordModel, new Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider(ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService));

// Web.Config
<add name = "UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" useLegacyEncoding="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="true" />

And this

// In Surface controller
var member = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetById(1117);
var changingPasswordModel = new Umbraco.Web.Models.ChangingPasswordModel()
{
    OldPassword = null,
    NewPassword = "1234",
    Reset = true
};
Members.ChangePassword(member.Username, changingPasswordModel, new Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider(ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService));

// Web.Config
<add name = "UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" useLegacyEncoding="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="true" />

Any ideas?

Okay i found out.

I actuelly started with ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.SavePassword(member, "newPassword"); But that throwed an exception, then i went to to use Members.ChangePassword() method.

After i changed allowManuallyChangingPassword to true in the web.config ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.SavePassword(member, "newPassword"); worked.
